Casa Blanca the most beautiful white lilium and magnificently fragrant specie of oriental lily. The flower is pure white with white specks. The bloom is nearly 11" across from point to point of the flower. The number of buds per stem depends on the size of the bloom. The bigger the bulb is, the more buds are present.
Plant oriental lilies in full sun as leaves and buds form. Once buds begin to form, move in partial shade to protect the bloom from discoloring or drying out. I personally feed the bulb during planting time with superphosphate and foliar feed with MG 15-30-15 once a week, during growing season until the leaves turn brown.
i don't allow oriental lilies to form seed at the expense of next year's bloom. My personal choice is to plant them in pots to be able to bring them indoors. I never cut the flowers either, i learned my lesson once... when i did not have experience growing oriental lilies, i cut the flowers and part of the stem. The following blooming season, there were no buds or blooms. I had to wait for 2 yrs before it bloomed again.
Bringing the plant indoors allow me to keep the flowers fresh for nearly 1 month, also it perfumes a 3 room dwelling.

This truly is a lovely lily. Large blossoms that have a wonderful fragrance that wafts through the garden. Needs a little tlc here in zone 5, but well worth the extra effort.
